A Cambridge-based paramedic has launched a national campaign with Vodafone to encourage people to store emergency contact details in their mobile phones.

Bob Brotchie, a clinical team leader for the East Anglian Ambulance NHS Trust, hatched the plan last year after struggling to get contact details from shocked or injured patients.

By entering the acronym ICE – for In Case of Emergency – into the mobile’s phone book, users can log the name and number of someone who should be contacted in an emergency.

The idea follows research carried out by Vodafone that shows more than 75 per cent of people carry no details of who they would like telephoned following a serious accident..."

I wonder how someone would know how to find the ICE numbers on many phones. Some of the combo phone devices are so complicated it is difficult for me to use my own phone sometimes.

I agree, Toad. I just figured out how to use my 5 year-old phone. My family have razors and they want me to upgrade. No way.
